aficionados know him by name, but almost anyone exposed to music is familiar
with his playing. His is the purring sax solo on Henry Mancini's famous
"Pink Panther" movie theme song. His is the saxophone counterpart to Harry
"Sweets" Edison's trumpet on Neal Hefti's signature music for "The Odd
Couple" TV series.

Plas is the featured
soloist heard on countless albums, including those of such artists as
Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones,
Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt and Sarah Vaughan.

Plas' recent recordings
include his own albums "Hot, Blue and Saxy" and "Evening Delight". You
may also find him around town occasionally with his own group, at jazz
festivals world-wide, and in the recording studios. Plas Johnson combines
some of the best elements of jazz and blues and is admired and emulated
by sax players worldwide.
